Abstract
CARTRIDGE PIN MOUNTING
Abstract of the Disclosure A cartridge pin mounting wherein a cartridge pin is secured in accurately preselected relationship to a frame having a mounting hole opening through an outer surface thereof. An outer surface associated with the pin is urged into flush relationship with the outer surface of the frame by a retainer which, in turn, is locked in the frame opening by a suitable locking ring. The outer surface of the pin may be defined by a ring structure at the outer end of the pin, and in the illustrated embodiment, the pin projects slightly from the ring portion.

Description
~.0'7'7;~
Background of the Invention 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to pin mounting means and in particular to means for mounting a cartridge pin or the like in a frame.
Background of the Invention 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to pin mounting means and in particular to means for mounting a cartridge pin or the like in a frame.
2. Description of the Prior Art At times it is necessary to install a pin, such as a cartridge pin within a frame member. It is difficult in many installations to determine when the pin is fully installed in the hole of the frame member such as where associated apparatus is disposed adjacent the opening.
It is, therefore, desirable to provide some means for pressing a cartridge pin or the like lnto an opening in a frame so as to dispose the pin automatically at a preselected inserted disposition notwithstanding substantial inaccessibility to the opening, such as for viewing purposes.
Summary of the Invention The present invention comprehends a cartridge pin mounting for securing a cartridge pin in accurate relation-ship to a frame having a mounting hole opening outwardly i through an outer surface thereof, the mounting comprising surface means on the pin defining an axially outwardly facing end surface and a radially outer surface comple-mentary to the mounting hole, the surface means being installed in the mounting hole with the surface means outer end surface flush with the frame outer surface to provide accurate mounting of the pin in the frame hole; and retaining means carried by the frame for maintaining the flush disposition of the surface means end surface and the frame outer surface.
~ ~~, ;
73()tt The retaining means may be locked in the frame opening by a suitable snap ring or the like, permitting facilitated removal of the retaining menns and pin when desired.
In the illustrated embodiment, the surface means comprises a ring mounted to the outer end of the pin. The surface means ring may be provided with a seal such as for sealing the ring to a bushing in which the pin is received.
The surface means ring may be press-fitted to the outer end of the pin and the distal end surface of the pin may be disposed as desired relative to the outer surface of the surface means ring.
Thus, the pin may be blindly driven into the frame mounting hole until the press ring abuts the frame outer surface, thereby providing an automatic indication to the installer that the pin is properly disposed in the frame.
The cartridge pin mounting of the present invention is ex-tremely simple and economical of construction while yet providing the highly desirable features discussed above.
Brief Description of the Drawing Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein the drawing is a fragmentary vertical section illus-trating a cartridge pin mounting embodying the invention.
Description of the Preferred Embodiment In the exemplary embodiment of the invention as disclosed in the drawing, a cartridge pin mounting generally designated 10 includes a cartridge pin 11 defining an outer end 12 terminating in a planar end surface 13. The pin outer portion 12 is provided with a surface means 14 comprising a ring press-fitted to the pin portion 12. In the illus-trated embodiment, the pin surface 13 is disposed slightly outwardly of the outer surface 15 of ring 14.
~3---~0'7'~30~
Ring 14 is adapted to be pressed lnto an opening 16 provided in a ~rame 17. The frame portion 18 defining the opening may be secured to a main portion 19 oE the frame by suitable means, such as welding 20.
As indicated briefly above, the invention comprehends the in-stallation of the pin 11 in the frame opening 16 by an effectively blind mounting of the ring 14 in the opening so as to dispose the pin automatically in the disposition of the drawing. To effect such positioning, a press ring 21 is provided having an inner press surface 22 which engages the outer surface 15 of ring 14 for urging the ring 14 and pin 11 axially inwardly through the frame opening 16 until the press ring surface 22 abuts the outer surface 23 through which the frame opening 16 opens. As the pin 11 is fixedly assGciated with the ring 14, the accurate disposition of the outer surface 15 of ring 14 in coplanar relationship with the outer surface 23 of the frame portion defining opening 16 automatically accurately positions the pin 11 in the opening 16.
Pin 11 may be retained against axial outward movement from the opening subsequent to the installation thereof by a removable locking ring 24 disposed outwardly of press ring 21 and received in a suitable annular groove 25 in the frame portion 18. In the illustrated em-bodiment, the locking ring 24 comprises a split snap ring, it being obvioùs to those skilled in the art that any suitable removable locking means may be employed for the purpose.
As further shown in the drawing, ring 14 may be provided with a suitable seal 26 for sealingly engaging a bushing 27 receiving the pin 11 in the installed arrangement.
Alternatively, the ring 14 may be driven to the flush disposi-tion of the drawing by a suitable tool and the ring 21 installed sub sequently to serve solely as a retainer to maintain the installed disposition of the pin.
lr3 7 730~
Thus, lt m~ly be seen that the pin l:L may be installed accurately in the frame 17 without the need Eor observation of the disposltlon of the pin as the installing method automat:Lcally insures that the pin will be installed accurately in the desired position of the drawing.
As shown in the drawing, the opening 16 is provided with a counterbore portion 28 deEining the surface 23 and the groove 25 and adapted to freely receive the ring 21 for facilitated installation thereof.
In the illustrated embodiment, the end surface 13 of pin 11 is disposed slightly inwardly oE the ring surface 15. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, surface 13 may be disposed as desired relative to the ring 14 and, thus, the surface 13 may be flush with surface 15 or disposed inwardly thereof, if desired.
The foregoing disclosure of specific embodiments is illustra-tive of the broad inventive concepts comprehended by the invention.
It is, therefore, desirable to provide some means for pressing a cartridge pin or the like lnto an opening in a frame so as to dispose the pin automatically at a preselected inserted disposition notwithstanding substantial inaccessibility to the opening, such as for viewing purposes.
